The island of Sark needed a new dairy. They commissioned me to create this animation to help raise funding for the project.

Do you know the difference between procurement and purchasing? Neither did Allmanhall's clients. So they asked me to create this animated infographic to help explain what they do.

The NHS asked me to create this short animation to explain how oral health can affect your body's overall health. The video is used as a training guide in hospitals and care homes throughout the UK.

Your Bath based Animation Studio.

Working in a broad range of mediums we can blend hand drawn animation with live action video and 3D models to create a style that’s right for you. We want your audience to be amazed and engaged by what you do.

How we work

The company was founded in 2012 by Luke Maitland. Whilst training as a teacher, Luke discovered that his best lessons were when he created videos and audio content, telling stories and educating through them. Luke spent the next 10 years training, then working in the industry, learning how to animate and create immersive content for a wide range of applications.

Luke’s experience ranges from creating films that help to visualise multimillion-pound developments in order to gain funding, to explaining complex ideas for universities, museums and entrepreneurs. With an increasingly high profile, Luke’s work is known for its warmth, humour and ability to make complex or difficult ideas accessible.

Animated Magic also works with a selected group of trusted professionals, bringing in specialist expertise when needed. Working in this way allows us to tailor projects to your needs, delivering high quality that meets all budgets and deadlines.
